"I am absolutely delighted that Cycle City Active City, the National Active Travel Conference, will be taking place in South Yorkshire in 2022.
In 2019 I appointed Dame Sarah Storey as the first Active Travel Commissioner for the region and ever since we have worked closely together to build a transformational programme to improve conditions for walking and cycling in South Yorkshire, including making the network much more accessible for disabled people. It is a mark of our progress and a great honour that Sheffield will host Cycle City Active City 2022."
Dan Jarvis
Mayor, South Yorkshire MCA
"Hosting this event reflects our city’s dedication to encouraging sustainable travel and sets an example to others across the country"
Cllr Douglas Johnson
Executive Member for Climate Change, Environment and Transport, Sheffield City Council
"Since my appointment as Active Travel Commissioner in 2019, the region has made significant progress in both standards of infrastructure and the ambition to prioritise active transport. This year more active travel infrastructure will be delivered than ever before and a strong pipeline of future schemes is also being fleshed out.
I hope hosting the conference in July will be a celebration of active travel in the region and enable more people to engage and understand the benefits than ever before."
